Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett makes his first career road start on the big stage of Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. Already dealing with one of the NFL's top defenses, Brissett believes the inebriation of fans will post an added challenge.
“We are playing in the nighttime, so everybody is drunk then. I'm guessing it will be very loud,” Brissett said, according to Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan.
Sunday's start represents the fifth of Brissett's career, with his previous four providing the benefit of home field. His first road appearance came in relief of Scott Tolzien against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, completing 2 of 3 passes for 51 yards.
Brissett got his first taste of prime time with the New England Patriots last season, making his first career start against the Houston Texans in a Week 3 Thursday Night game. He completed 11 of 19 passes for 103 yards, while rushing for his first career touchdown.
At the very least, Brissett doesn't need to worry about Andrew Luck looming over his shoulder, after the Colts announced Luck won't be returning to practice before next week.
